FIRST OFF MERRY CHRISTMAS! This was my gift to myself this year....

Short back story. My name is Andrew, born and raised in Houston i'm 25 and finally back in a Honda. First car i bought when i was 15 back in October 2005 (check my join date lol) and it was a 2000 Civic SI. It was a clean fun car until motor got locked in a flood in 2008. Slowly started to build it for club racing and had a few Honda's a Miata a truck a van and another truck in between just lost interest in the car game and worked away hopes of having fun. Which brings us to now... Daily driver is my 2006 Tundra and just purchased this 1991 CRX HF for 1300 to make into a daily and keep miles off the truck as well as gas money in my pocket.

Car was spray painted or hand painted a smurf blue..only God will ever know why. Its an all original 1991 CRX HF, Red, d15b6, only modifications were a crx-si trans due to the b6 trans going out and a 4-2-1 header of some sort. Onto the pics for some better detail.

NOTE: THIS WILL BE MORE OF A NICE SLOW LOG FOR MY PERSONAL SELF....SORRY....
NOTE2: THESE ARE ALL CAMERA PHONE PICS...SORRY...

Previous Cars...
2000 civic si 2005-2009




1995 Integra LS 2008




1996 Civic EX sedan 2009



1994 Miata M Edition





NOW.......on to the CRX....
These pictures are the morning after i got it home. Trailer got a flat on the way home from BFE where i picked it up the night before. It was sunk to the bottom of the car in mud. Previous owner pulled it out with his four wheeler.

As previously stated the owner sprayed it a smurf blue....right over the red.....and blacked the hood and ruined all window trim.

Almost forgot the most important part haha..the engine!

stock d15b6 other than a header and the trans is off a 90 crx si.

 

Maan!!!!!!! Crx!!!!!!!!

 

This is a great platform for a TRULY amazing turnaround. Best of luck, I'll be following along! You've got your work cut out for you, which I'm sure your aware of...

 

Haha what's up Chris!

Og Wagon thanks man! Yeah its going to be a long road but I've been looking for a car to bring some life back into it for a while. Time will tell but I'm excited.

Should have some clean up pics today and begin investigating/addressing rear hatch leak issue

 

this is a very big project !!!!
it look like the car has potential even if it look horrible right now
bring her back to life !!!!

 

Please put it back to Red.

 

jesus christ thats rough!

seat belts attatched to the doors! wtf is that all about, is that on all CRX's ?

 

Nah only on 88-89 models I believe. After that they became pilar mounted.

OP good luck on the build. If you can revive this one you'd be my hero!!!!!

 

Haha thanks for the encouragement and inspiration guys!
I've uncovered some body damage so before anything really i'm going to fix that and repaint the car. I'm in a serious limbo between white and red. red would be nice to keep it original but white would sure look good next to/behind my truck. Regardless all mouldings and plastics will be kept black.

Did clean the interior quite a bit and will have some pictures up soon. End of the year push at work so its been madness.

 

I say Red !

 

Time to bring it back to life. Good luck bud.

 

In for updates

 

A lot of work ahead of you. It'll all be worth it when she shines again!
